Return on Investment (ROI) refers to the ratio of the unrealized profit and loss of a certain position in the futures trading to the margin, in other words, a ratio that suggests an investment’s profitability. ROI is one of the key metrics in evaluating the potential return from an investment.
ROI produces an approximate measure of the profitability of a given futures investment based on the calculated results, which can help you evaluate your investment, learn more about your profits and losses, and optimize asset allocation.
ROI Calculation Formula:
ROI = Unrealized PNL / Margin x 100%
Note
In Cross Margin Mode, the margin is the entire available balance in your futures account. But when calculating ROI, the minimum margin displayed on the page is used to be calculated. While in the isolated margin mode, ROI is calculated based on the actual margin.
Example
As the screenshot above shows, the unrealized PNL of this position is 24.22 USDT and the margin is 178.30 USDT. Therefore, the ROI of this position is:
ROI = Unrealized PNL / Margin x 100%
ROI = 24.22 / 178.30 x 100%
ROI ≈ 13.58 %
Because only two decimal places can be displayed here, the calculation result is for reference only, and the specific value is subject to the display.
